Reduce stitch length – we will be cutting thru this stitching eventually.
This is a great time to use up all those half filled bobbins! It will never show.
Are we having fun yet?

Connie is coming tomorrow to have lunch and shop for fabric in Clear Lake. I’m guessing I’ll probably need some fabric, too. 😂
Ending on a very sad note tonight. Marsha Johnson, who we sent cards to last summer, died at Mayo this afternoon from cancer complications. Her family was with her including my friend, Mareen.
Well, this was fun, wasn’t it? So many shower doors! I can see advantages to all of them and glad you gave the reason for your choice. There is no way I would have a clear glass shower surround – I’d feel like someone was watching me!
Another gorgeous day to take a ride to the field but it was a quick one because the bugs are getting bad! I got the lawn mowed between swatting biting bugs.
Deano is sitting on my lap as I write – he doesn’t seem to be in pain but his mouth is ugly.
Still working on plants – here’s a few good looking ones I cleaned today:

My “recipe” for cleaning plants is very casual. I have a 2 gallon hand sprayer. I fill it with water and then put a healthy squirt of Dawn in and shake it up. It just has to be soapy water, I think. Sometimes I rinse the plants and oftentimes I forget. Plants just get very dusty and dirty through the summer outside and did you know that dust blocks sun from the plant leaves. No, I didn’t know that either. The soapy water always kills bugs which I don’t want to bring into my house.
Remember this spider that crawled out of the soapy plant? Good riddance!
I hope I’ve answered your questions – if not, ask me again and be specific.
Meet Bentley, Kathy’s granddog, who turned 2 today!

Remember that Novelty Quilt from awhile back? I finally got both of them bound.
And Hazel’s adventure today – she sensed a mouse (?) under the broken concrete floor in the barn. And she started digging.
What a mess! Barney watched as if to say – “I’ll handle that mouse – just leave it to me!”
So this mess will need to be cleaned up. What made me ever think I could keep up with Hazel?
P.S. A reader named Marlene asked me about her order – please email me.
P.P.S. Now I’m watching the Major League Baseball playoffs and my question is this – why do these ballplayers all wear such elaborate gold chains?
Watched one game and then went to the field with the dogs – Molly was here, too.
It was a snake and mouse day – a great time was had by all!
Greta rode along.

From Teresa – 3” blocksThis is Loon Lake – the view out Teresa’s window at the retreat.Keeper and Hank thought the Bullseye quilt was a great place to rassleShe’s everywhere!This is why I work hard at cleaning my plants before they move inside – the spider had been deep in the plant leaves until I sprayed with Dawn.
P.S. I have a question for you – anybody – who might be able to tell me why any homeowner would want a glass shower surround? who would want someone to see them in the shower? Who would want to enter a bathroom and watch someone in the shower? Who would want to clean a glass shower? It would be clean for the first shower – after that it would be covered with soap residue, not to mention all the water spots. I just don’t understand and every time I see the commercial, I wonder.
